We would be connected from Delphi and all our clients are on 2.1. But before I get this implemented in code I would like to see it in SQL.

I have tried in both IBQuery and isql but whenever I run the following:

select * from MON$ATTACHMENT;

I always get an error that the table is unknown.

Should I be able to run that statement from isql?

Thanks

Neil
